Do you remember the smell of a freshly opened box of crayons, or the soft feel of a brand new paintbrush? I do. They are memories full of happiness and creativity.
At SKETCH we ask that families provide their own art supplies so that children have the opportunity to experiment at home, as well as in class.
Please be aware that the links below connect to an affiliate account and anything you purchase will result in SKETCH receiving a portion of the proceeds at no cost to you. You are by no means obligated to use these links. Feel free to purchase from any source at all.
Also, please note that while specific brands are listed, these are suggestions only. I do this simply to help with the choosing process. You will want decent quality products to allow your child the most success (avoid Roseart and generic brands) and avoid frustration, but unless there is a specific note, you may make any substitution.
Finally, we place one bulk order at the beginning of each term in order to get the lowest possible costs. If you would like to participate, take a look at the second half of our registration form.

Note: Please make sure that all supplies are clearly labeled with your family’s name. Children work at large tables, and supplies often roll. Collecting materials at the end of the day is much easier if they are marked. Address labels work well for this purpose.
Again, the cheapest/easiest place to get your supplies is through our class bulk order, but if you only need a few items you may do better with www.amazon.com. Remember that THESE ARE JUST GUIDELINES. If, for example, you already have Crayola crayons, and I have listed Prang, do not feel obligated to buy new materials.
As always, feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions!
